Mr. Dhanda: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what assessment she has made of the (a) economic and
(b) safety impact of the biannual time change. [201794]
Mr. Sutcliffe: A European Directive harmonises the dates when summer time begins and ends across EC member states as the last
Sundays in March and October respectively, and each member state is obliged to move their clocks by one hour at 1.00 am GMT on that
date. The purpose of the Directive is to assist planning by ensuring uniformity in summer time dates across the community, thus
removing uncertainty for industry and the public in general about Summer Time dates across EC member states.
Given these arrangements, the Government have not undertaken any research specifically addressing the economic or safety impacts of
the biannual time change, other than as part of the consultation document published in June 1989 ("Summer Time--A Consultation
Document" (Cm 722), which set out the more important arguments and facts about existing summer time arrangements and proposals for
change in terms of their economic and social effects, and which concluded that the issues revolved around the basis of opinion and
judgment rather than any balance sheet of gains and losses.
In addition, the Department for Transport has previously commissioned the Transport Research Laboratory to update and refine earlier
research on the possible impact of the adoption of Central European time on the number of road accident casualties. The results were
published on 14 October 1998.
